Donald Trump's bromides on undocumented immigrants appear to have deeply damaged whatever appeal he might have once had among Hispanic voters.
A new Gallup poll released Monday evening found that 65 percent of Hispanic voters say they have an unfavorable view of Trump, compared with 14% who view him favorably - yielding him a net favorable score of -51, well below any other presidential candidate.

Winning in a non-presidential election cycle (where turnout of Hispanics is far lower), as in 2010 and 2014, is one thing. 2008 and 2012 were quite another thing. It seems unfathomable to win in a presidential election cycle with negatives this high. This rate is on pace to get at best 22% of the Hispanic vote in 2016 (5% less than Romney secured).
Not good...
So I guess there’s no hope of winning California ...
Perhaps they don’t love Trump after all.
He won’t need it. He’ll make it up with white lunch bucket blue collar types.
What states will he lose? That’s what matters
You believe this poll? First of all, hispanics aren’t one group. The sample set would have to be huge and varied to get a fair sample. For all we know the survey was taken at a LaRaza meeting.
Trump on track to win GOP Hispanic vote
Or Colorado or New Mexico or Nevada or Arizona?
High voter turnout among Hispanics, combined with a baked-in highly negative attitude towards Trump, could result in the most of the few Republicans from California in Congress being swept away.
Who cares? Screw ‘em.
Yep, 35% of Whites didn’t vote in last few election cycles -
Republicans can win without Hispanics. They are NOT the force the media and their Democrats make them out to be and even Willard would have won if he was a conservative. This is more GOPe crap to scare us into open borders to satisfy THEIR masters at the USCC.
Two-thirds of them will vote for the Democrat anyway—they just already know who they are.
Never again I fear, unless they give the bottom half back to Mexico.
Most illegals don’t vote. Yes, I said most.
This Gallup poll has a sample of “random hispanic adults”. They could be illegals or unregistered. The poll is useless and only designed to grab headlines.
Oh, Politico is now a “partisanmediashill” or “partisanmedia” as the keyword say above?
I thought that Reuters was called the same -— but that was until they had a good poll for Trump!
And CNN - they were a libbbberal media outlet, and probably a “partisanmediashill” or “partisanmedia” as well not long ago but that was until the polls from them looked good for Trump.
And now CNN is reliable!!!! Yeah!
See how it works?
Jeb Bush, meanwhile, racked up the highest favorability rating among GOP candidates with a +11 net favorable score, followed by Marco Rubio with +5 and Carly Fiorina with +3.
Guess we better get behind Bush III then.
Well, I guess we should allow the southern invasion to continue then. If not, it may cost GOP votes.
If Trumps goes into the general election as the GOP nominee, and peels off significant numbers in the white female or black demographic (or combination thereof), Hispanics will bail on the Democrats. There’s no natural affinity for the old, white college-educated losers who couldn’t function in a market-based economy. It’s a protection racket, and when the protection can’t be afforded any longer, it’s over.
Well, that there LIFEBOAT of ours is OVERLOADED!
I suppose all the “Hispanics” really want to drown, then.
